    Will be on the move next week (hopefully.....) but I am going to miss Fanny Street, have had a happy few years in a lovely Grade 2 Listed house there. Was only on the market a week before it sold, so I don't think it puts people off!! In fact I think it attracts some people :rotfl:

    Fanny was one of Titus Salt's daughters if anyone is interested, all the streets in Saltaire were named after his children/ grand children (I think).

    Not a street name, but a house name.

    "Lady Garden Cottage", saw it for sale in the local rag a few months ago and couldn't help but have a bit of a giggle :D

    I was born and brought up not ten minutes from High Littleton (Midsomer Norton) and I've never heard of Scumbrum Lane.

    That's quite an admission, but it's not exactly hard to find, as it connects to the main road in two places :

    Or how about the bold and unashamed hamlet of Shitterton in normally prim and proper Dorset?

    At the milllennium, they had a new sign commissioned which they reckoned no one would pinch....

    It's still there! :D

    I live a 1/2 mile down the road from Turkey C0ck Lane. It was named after the pub of the same name (now a house). There is a reason that the houses down the road are worth more than those on the nearby London Road. They are BIGGER.

    Oh, yes, I know exactly where that is. Can't say I've ever seen a street sign for it though. In my defence, all I can say is its not a place I drive through very often. :cool:


    I'll have to have a look out for it next time I'm there. :)
